(1) On about 1yd. (.9m) of (ivory) thread, and leaving an 32in.(84cm) tail, make a two-bead ladder with 11o A color seed beads (photo a-1).
  • Then pick up 18mm open round, and those two 15o A beads, hold them outside the ring (photo a-2), go with the needle through the ring and exit up through the second bead (photo a-3).
Make sure your needle and thread are going in the space between the ring and the beads.
  • Then pick up one 11o A and sew up through the second 11o A (photo a-4), then sew through the ring, and sew up through the last bead (photo a-5).
  • Repeat around the ring for a total of 35 11o A beads.
(2) Then pull the thread (tail) out of first (stopper) bead (photo a-7). Secure the thread (tale) and sew through the ring and go up through the first bead (photo a-8) (the thread should go in the space between the ring and the bead). Then join first and last beads together (photo a-9).
(3) Then pick up one 3mm light blue Component, Oh! Rubber Ring, one 3mm Swarovski turquoise crystal pearl, and sew back through the rubber ring and down through the next bead (photo a-10), come up through the next bead to the right (photo a-11). Repeat around the ring for a total of seventeen turquoise Swarovski pearls and rubber rings (photo a-12, a-13).

(4) Then secure the other end of the thread and sew down through the next bead to the right. Pick up one 3mm yellow Component, Oh! Rubber Ring, one 2,5mm round gold platted bead, and sew back through the rubber ring and up through the next bead (photo a-14) and sew down through the next bead to the right (photo a-15). Repeat around the ring for a total of seventeen 2,5mm round gold platted beads, and rubber rings (photo a-16, a-17).

(5) Then secure the thread tail and sew down through the next bead to the right (work at other side of ring). Pick up one 3mm yellow Component, Oh!

Repeat around the ring for a total of seventeen beads and rings.
(6) Then sew up through the blue rubber ring and 3mm turquoise Swarovski crystal pearl (photo a-19), pick up one 15o C, and sew through the next 3mm turquoise pearl. Repeat around the ring for a total of sixteen 15o C s (photo a-20). and sew down through the next bead to the right. Repeat around the ring for a total of seventeen beads and rings.
(7) Secure the other end (that exiting 11o A bead) of the thread and pick up two 11o B s (photo a-21), skip one 11o A, and sew down through the next 11o A. Then skip one 11o A and sew up through the next 11o A and 11o B that you just added (photo a-22).
